Great Doctor Ling Ran

“The Doctor is out.”With a reminder, the patient’s family members all moved upon hearing the news.

As usual, Zuo Cidian took a step forward to stop Ling ran in case someone accidentally or intentionally bumped into him.

“Everyone, please be quiet. Let Doctor Ling explain.”Zuo Cidian knew what everyone was waiting for, so he shouted as soon as everyone gathered together.

As expected, everyone stood still and quieted down.

At this moment, everyone did not want to miss the first notice.

The patient’s parents were pushed to the front, and the others gathered into a small circle. Most of them looked nervous.

“The surgery was very successful. Don’t worry.”Ling ran stood up from behind and rubbed the alcohol-based hand sanitizer in his hand. He also told the patient the information that the patient was looking forward to.

It could be seen that when Ling ran said this, everyone felt much more relaxed.

Like a few girls who were about the same age as the patient, they also placed their attention on Ling Ran’s face.

Ling ran looked straight ahead and continued, “This time, we performed a full thoracoscopic repair of the atrial septal defect. The extracorporeal circulation took a total of forty-five minutes. It went very smoothly...”

“Forty-five minutes on the extracorporeal circulation is a world-class level of technology.”Zuo Cidian knew when to stand up and support Ling ran. The operating theater was a black box. It could allow doctors to be more protected, and they did not have to explain everything to the patients and their families. However, sometimes, it was difficult for the patients and their families to know that a doctor had performed an amazing operation.

Zuo Cidian did not care about such a systematic thing. He just guaranteed that Ling ran would be as handsome as he could be.

When the patient’s family heard that Ling ran was “World-class,”they were indeed a little happy. The eldest grandfather was the first to thank him.

The patient’s mother also wiped away her tears. She gave a smile and asked, “Then, will you be able to be like a normal person in the future?”

“I can’t be sure about the specific recovery situation. After a period of rest and recuperation, I’ll definitely be in a better state than before the surgery.”Ling ran’s answer was still rather positive.

Zuo cidian coughed twice, he tried to make up for the situation. “It’s better than before the surgery, but it’s not easy to quantify. All in all, the surgery went very smoothly, and the rest will depend on the recovery after the surgery. “The patient’s family also needs to worry more. Let’s work together and try to make the patient’s heart recover as well as possible.”

The patient’s mother understood and could not help but feel a little lost. “Still can’t be like a normal person? I thought... I heard that a lot of people can be like other children after the operation.”

Zuo Cidian could not help but feel a little awkward. He said, “There are many factors that can affect whether or not they can recover like a normal person. There’s no guarantee in this aspect.”

“I see.”The patient’s mother lowered her head helplessly.

The husband put his arm around her shoulder and smiled. “Don’t be like this. If the surgery is successful, that would be the best thing, right?”

The patient’s mother wanted to cry, but no tears came out. “I know, I just... I just felt that if I had been more careful at that time, perhaps it wouldn’t have... perhaps, jiaojiao would have been able to act like a normal child...”

The husband felt both helpless and heartache. “Didn’t the doctor say before that there are many possibilities when it comes to housing shortage? Don’t blame yourself anymore...”

“I know, I just...”the patient’s mother raised her head at that moment, she smiled apologetically at Ling ran. “Doctor, I’m sorry. When you said that the surgery was successfully completed, I was very happy. I just felt that I let jiaojiao down when I thought about how she suffered. “I always thought that it would be great if Jiaojiao could be like a normal person...”

“What do you mean by a normal person?”Ling ran asked in return.

Zuo Cidian immediately became nervous. It was not easy to “Restrain”this conversation.

The patient’s mother was also stunned, she said in a low voice, “If you’re a normal person, you can be like a normal child. You can run, You Can Dance... Then, you can go out and participate in summer camp without worrying about not bringing enough medicine...”

Ling ran nodded. “If that’s the case, there’s a high chance that you’ll get what you want.”

This time, it was not only the patient’s mother who was stunned. The patient’s father was the one who was stunned.

His eyes seemed to be shining. He stared at Ling ran as if he wanted to see a guarantee.

Ling ran felt that he had explained everything clearly. He nodded and returned to the operating area.

Zuo Cidian quickly followed him. He walked for a while with pride and worry before he said, “Doctor Ling, we have to be objective. You won’t dare to make such a promise to the patient next time.”

“I said that there is a high probability,”Ling ran said.

“Don’t you know what the patient’s family members are thinking?”Zuo cidian said helplessly, “Even if you say that there is a low probability, they will think that they are the ones who are lucky. “What’s more, you said that it’s a large probability. In the future, there will always be patients who bump into one side of the small probability, right? When that time comes, what should we do?”

“We’ll do what we should do.”Ling ran did not mind.

“What if we’re sued?”

“Then, we’ll answer the lawsuit.”

Zuo Cidian was affected by Ling ran’s answer. He opened his mouth and said, “What if we run into a doctor who causes trouble?”

“We’ll look for department director Huo,”Ling ran said calmly. “Isn’t this the standard procedure of Yun Hua Hospital?”

“Is that so?”Zuo Cidian hesitated.

Ling ran nodded. “There are some in the employee handbook.”

“Who would read something like that...”Zuo Cidian could not finish his sentence when he faced Ling ran.

..

In the resuscitation room.

Department director Kang stood beside the patient’s bed with his hands behind his back. He was deep in thought.

Most of the time, his gaze fell on the transparent plastic bag on the floor.

One end of the transparent plastic bag was connected to a drainage tube. The patient’s blood and fluid that seeped out after the surgery would be channeled into the transparent drainage bag through the drainage tube.

The drainage bag had to be transparent because many doctors were used to judging the patient’s condition after the surgery by the appearance of the fluid in the drainage bag.

This was especially true for heart surgeons. The seriousness with which they looked at the pleural fluid was definitely greater than the seriousness with which they looked at the chest.

The heart surgeons were most afraid of the bright red chest fluid. That meant that the patient was bleeding internally. It was very likely that the suture had been torn open or that there was a needle leak.

When they encountered such a situation, it was almost a sign of a double opening without any hesitation. The patient’s chest cavity had to be opened again, sutured again, and then closed again. It was the same as performing the surgery again.

For the patient and his family, the decision to open again was a desperate one. For the Doctor, it was also a difficult decision and operation.

The dark red chest fluid was not much better. If there was no black clot in the dark red chest fluid, it also meant that there was bleeding and the blood coagulation function was reduced. At such a time, the doctor usually preferred to continue to use medicine and replenish the blood, but.., they also had to be mentally prepared. They might have to stay up all night again today.

Only clear and bright chest fluid was what heart surgeons liked. It did not matter if there was a little bit of blood in it, but it was clear and bright.

It was just like the drainage bag in front of department director Kang.

The chest fluid in it was as clear as a cup of good tea.

Department director Kang even thought that if he kicked it, this cup of chest fluid would hang on the wall.

“How is it?”Ling ran pushed the door open and walked in. He looked like a big shot who was here to perform ward rounds.

Department director Kang subconsciously tightened his gluteal muscles and quickly said, “There’s a little tissue leakage. There should be no problem.”

“How much is the drainage volume?”

“So far, it’s about 70 milliliters.”When department director Kang said this, he was shocked again. He often performed thoracotomy surgeries. Even if he had to repair the same small atrial defect, the drainage volume would still be around 500 milliliters.

When he recalled the various benefits of thoracoscopy, department director Kang once again had the idea of buying one of these.

Ling ran took the blood gas analysis report and read it. He flipped through the medical records again and was ready to leave. He said, “If you have any questions, call me immediately.”

“Okay,”department director Kang answered lazily.

Ling ran brought Zuo Cidian out of the room. When they reached the door, he seemed to have remembered something. He turned around and said, “Let’s leave the thoracoscopy in the operating theater of the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department for the time being. If you guys want to use it, you can use it too.”

“Leave... Leave it in our operating theater?”Department director Kang’s head was filled with a sudden sense of happiness. He felt like he was being chased by someone, but he felt like he was extorting an extra 1,000 RMB from the other party.

Ling ran asked, “Will it be inconvenient? If it’s inconvenient...”

“No!”Department director Kang quickly said, “I’ll take good care of it. When you want to use it, just let me know, and I’ll bring it over.”

“There’s no need for that. Even if I use a thoracoscopy, I’ll be performing an extra-cardiac surgery.”Ling ran left as he spoke.

Department director Kang laughed so hard that his tongue stood on end. After a while, he thought about Ling ran’s words again and felt that something was not right.
